Here We Are, Miles Apart

Here we are, miles apart.I wish we both knew how to pick up the phone more,Dial the numbers and say the magic words �Hello.� I wish you could understand, that I think of you Every chance that I can and that you�ll still always be my friend.

This is for you Steph, because I miss my friend and I know it’s been a long, long while. I wrote this because I miss ya, and I haven’t forgotten you at all.

Here we are, miles apart

Was I a fool for putting you high on a pedestal?
Was I stupid for idolizing you?
And was it crazy that I was ready to follow you--
Follow you blindly where ever you told me to?

 

But here’s the thing:
I’d do it all again.
Go through the pain and pleasure
Of having you as my friend.

 

You were the part of me I never knew,
And when you went you took it with you.
You did more for me than you’ll ever know,
You took a dieing flower and made it grow.

 

But here we are, miles apart.
And it’s been so long since I’ve seen you at all.
It’s been even longer since I last heard your voice,
And I wonder if we lost contact by accident or choice.

 

I wish we both knew how to pick up the phone,
Dial the numbers so at least I didn’t feel alone.
I wish you could understand that I think of you
Every chance that I can.

 

And that I miss you lots,
And that I still cry too,
Cry because I’m still here
Still missing you.

 

But people get busy and things get put off.
Things get in the way, schedules get full
It’s both our faults.
Not much we can do right?

 

But what was I supposed to do?
Tell you not to go? Tell you to stay?
And what reason would I have given?
“Do it for me.”?

 

I realized how selfish that would have been.
So I never said a word about you staying.
I only wished you well and gave you a hug.
A simple embrace that expressed my love.

 

Do you ever think of me?
Wonder how I’m doing and if I’m okay?
Because I think of you almost everyday.
And I wonder how you’re doing and if you’re okay.

 

Memories consume me some time
And I find this nostalgia
Actually brings me some peace of mind.

 

I understand this sounds clichéd,
You were the big sis I never had,
Though technically I was older
And we had different moms and dads.

 

It hurt me a lot when you left,
But I told you:
“You had to do what’s best,
Best for you and your life.”

 

There’s a piece of me that will always be missing,
I sent it with you as a going away present.
What I’m trying to say,
The point I’m trying to make.

 

 

It’s that I wish we could be okay.
That it would be like it was,
Me and you, the dynamic duo.
A friend that I’d been waiting my whole life for.

 

You were one of the best friends I’d ever had.
You still are if you can believe that.
My door is always open, the phone still rings,
If you ever want to talk about random things.

 

All I want is my friend back.
All I want is for you to be there
Monday morning when I walk
Down the halls.

 

But here we are, miles apart.
And it’s been so long since I last heard your voice.
It’s been even longer since I’ve seen you at all ,
And I can’t help but wonder if we lost contact by accident or choice.

 

I wish we both knew how to pick up the phone more,
Dial the numbers and say the magic words “Hello.”
I wish you could understand, that I think of you
Every chance that I can and that you’ll still always be my friend.
